As a child, my ambition was to work at the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, GBC. I wanted to be like my uncle, Mr. Daniel Adjei, who had a distinguished career at GBC. I left Ghana, and that dream shifted to Teaching. When the opportunity came to work at WHPK 88.5 Rendezvous Africa, I did not hesitate to say Yes with all my might. I had the singular honor of working with my Uncles, Osofo Kwasi Yeboah, Mr. Agyeman-Badu, and, as we called him, Uncle Nana Akwasi. Of course, we had our discussions about who was the best Ghanaian musician, and if you know me, you know my favorite…. the legend Kojo Antwi. Memories at WHPK will always be among the best for me here in Chicago. Of sorts, it fulfilled my childhood ambition and dream. Today, I fondly remember our days at the radio station, where I had the opportunity to work with Uncle Nana Akwasi. He was calm and eloquent, and he showed me the ropes at times.
When the opportunity came to interview GhanaFest attendees in Chicago, Nana Akwasi was one of the interviewees who agreed to my request to be interviewed. It was a fantastic interview with a lot of memories to cherish.
Thank you for the opportunity, Uncle Nana Akwasi Appiah. Rest in Perfect Peace!
